Surely satanic-looking load average figures don't lie, jep..

This morning, we were having some network problems, apparently between
ge-3-4.a00.chcgil07.us.ce.verio.net
and
428.at-0-1-0.rtr0.chcg1.il.voyager.net
I don't know what caused them, but lots of people were summarily cut off.

It appeared like the routing was flapping between a good and bad interface
somewhere between these two. One moment, connectivity two grex's network
was fine. The next, routing just stopped cold at the interface between
the two networks.

From the previous agora:
} Response 235 (235) Rane Curl (rcurl) Sat, Dec 6, 2003 (09:12) 4 lines:
}
} I'm telnetting in from Madeira Beach FL. I cannot connect to Grex
} directly as I get a "not responding" response, but I have telnetted into
} CAEN, and then telnetted over from there. Why won't Grex respond directly?
I don't know why the connection would be timing out. I'd run traceroute
from the originating machine to grex, to see where the connection failed.

Unfortuntely, I can't. I am connected only with PPP to an ISP, so don't
have a local account from which to issue traceroute.

Your machine doesn't have a traceroute? What kind of machine is it? If it
can establish a PPP connection, you should be able to run network utilities
on it.

Re #207: an Apple Powerbook 145B - I do have on it clients for Turbogopher
and Anarchie - but not traceroute. Maybe I can find one on the web (with
Netscape 2.0)?

Sounds like MacOS 9. Look for WhatRoute, Rane. It's available from
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~bryanc/
Interestingly, he has released a MacOS X version, too.

Mac OS 7.1. I did some web creeping for traceroute but have not yet
found one for this OS. (This machine tops out for OS 7.6 - but at least
that supports java.)

7.6 is still MacTCP, isn't it?

The new AMiga OS is going to use Am iga-specific tcp-ip stack and
configuration tools. Aargh.

You didn't really expect it to use something normal, did you?
A friend of mine was trying out a version of that. He was less than
amused when he found out it supports only one specific ethernet card.
If it's not a PCI NE2000 clone, forget it.

On the bright side, PCI NE2000 clones are about as cheap and
as common as you can possibly get.

Re 222: In fact, there's a joke in there somewhere.
"I was at the computer store, and the sales guy was supposed to give me $7.12
in change. He was out of dimes, but instead of 2 nickels I grudgingly
accepted an NE2000 clone."
